4.2.9 European Community reports Although European cases may appear in the reports considered above, there are two specialist reports relating to EU cases. European Court Reports (ECR) These are the official reports produced by the European Court of Justice.

2 Discrimination in the labour market: introduction Discrimination can manifest itself in all aspects of life. It may be evident in the type and location of housing available to certain groups, in their access to quality education and health care or how they are treated in the labour market. We will focus on the last of these considerations and, in particular, why the labour market status of some groups of workers is significantly worse than that for the population at large. This does not mean that discrimination in the labour market is a more

2.3 Realist and conventionalist approaches In most modern, urban, industrial societies, still images surround people for much of their daily lives: at home, at work, during leisure, while travelling. Does the evidence they offer differ fundamentally from that which comes from facts and figures printed on a page? It may be presented differently but we can derive socially relevant information as readily from a photograph as we can from written or numerical data. In some ways, it can be argued that the information that we can acqu

2.12 The future of the therapeutic relationship As discussed earlier in this extract, therapeutic relationships are subject to constant review and reinterpretation. As the culture changed, the predominant shift in health care was away from paternalistic forms of relationships based on professional expertise towards partnership models in which the patient has more rights but also more responsibilities. This final section looks to the future and considers some of the factors that can impact on therapeutic relationships in CAM.

One of the implications of this narrow commercial focus is that the benefit that such crops would bring, other than to those multinational companies that produce them, is by no means clear. Weighing up their value on some form of ethical scales might be unlike
